Azul almost smirked as she heard Cawn yelling about somebeast called Snibbs. She couldn't say she remembered such a creature, but then, she'd been rowing for near two seasons. She almost had it in her to feel pity for Snibbs, whoever he was, with the way Cawn was shouting.

''If he isn't dead already .. he will be."

That aroused another question in her mind. Why would the lookout just .. vanish? Ok, so maybe he was a lazy, entirely stupid creature, and decided to take a nap somewhere. But with the iron paw Cawn had over his crew, she really couldn't make herself believe this was the case.

Could something .. or someone .. have killed him? Or captured him? Azul didn't see how, but one thing was for sure. The lookout guard was under rigid command .. it didn't make sense for a watchbeast to disappear for no reason.

Azul pulled on her or viciously to clear her thoughts, listening to the shouts about a large vessel with golden sails and blue flags. Somehow .. that almost seemed familiar .. although not like a ship in the Long Patrol's fleet.

So what was going on? Azul was desperately curious, but as a slave chained to the oars, there wasn't much chance for her to find out.
